For battleing you only really need 3 angels. Close is 10. Medeam is 20. And long is 40. And just Adjust the power lvl. I always start at Medium then from there it will say ether you were too short you hit or you over shot. If you were too short just raise it to High Power. If you hit just attack. if you over shot lower it to Low Power. Untill you get a good ship with good cannons I would just keep sailing and everytime you run into a ship just flee you will never fully sink just get to Critical Condition. Padres is the best place to get the extra gold. And there you go a good starter guid for COTD good luck on your Quest for Gold and loot mate =D
